Peter in answer to your PM question I've never grown a Peach in a pot is it a miniature tree or an ordinary one ? you have rather a lot of leaves, in the spring you should pinch out growth buds ( leaves ) on each flowering lateral to leave one at the base one in the middle and one at the top if you can imagine a branch with only two sets of leaves with blossom midway between . in May those two sets of leaves will have grown a lot more you need to pinch the tips out leaving 6 proper leaves ,this sounds violent but I promise more leaves will soon grow ,
The good thing is the leaves look to be healthy
